the official PS3 Buying thread

As a current Xbox 360 owner, I have recently been contemplating picking up a PS3. I am really just looking to round out this generation (already have a wii). The only problem, is I'm not sure what a PS3 has to offer. I already have a bluray player, so that perk is gone. And any game that isn't exclusive to the PS3 I can just pick up for my 360.

So my question to you PS3 owners is what am I missing out on? What are your favorite exclusives and why? The only two that I know of that interest me are LittleBigPlanet and Modnation Racers (which I know isn't out yet, but has an interesting premise.

Id say it was for me the only reason i got mine was to play MGS4. For a while after i beat that game i just went back to my 360...... But There's a lot of great games out now God of 3 MAG LBP . Resistance series ( not a fan of) But yea I play it just as much as my xbox now It was worth it when the ps3 was 500 so if u can get one for 299 go get it man.

I would definitely recommend one. For $300 dollars you are getting a blu-ray player, internet browser, and a game console with incredible hardware. Also, there are more than a couple good games for it. There is Uncharted 2, Killzone 2, Infamous, LittleBigPlanet, Metal Gear Solid 4, Flower, Wipeout HD, God of War 1 2 and 3, and Demon's Souls, to mention a few, which are all great PS3 exclusives.

Also, you get an added benefit with PSN. You receive free online, and some truly innovative titles that would never see the light of day on XBLA. On the whole, there really isn't anything flawed with the PS3, and is totally worth the price, as you get too many features to count, for just 300 bucks.

Same thing happened to me! I bought it only to play MGS4 and PS2 games I never had the chance to play, so I rushed out and got the 80 GB model before they were discontinued.

Yes, the PS3 is worth the price. For me, whether a console is worth having depends on its exclusive games. For the PS3, you have Heavy Rain, Infamous, Heavenly Sword, the Killzone series, MGS4, and the Uncharted series as some of the must-plays that make the PS3 well worth having. And The Last Guardian is coming out soon, another PS3 exclusive, and my most-anticipated game.
